This is Flash player 8 problems for me, possibly v7 for others in my company, since v7 is part of THE COMPANY STANDARD COMPUTER IMAGE. There are various install scenarios on the different problem computers. My v8 was downloaded from macromedia.com around when it first came out a few months ago. Others get v7 from the company image or install.
I have admin rights, others do not. This compounded identifying the problem at first. I had made an HTML page containing Flash where the player version was not detected, so problem users would stare at a blank box and nothing would error. BUT users with admin rights would get the macromedia...swflash.cab file from the plugins= statement, and the player would eventually work for them after a few seconds. Users with non-admin rights would get nothing and continue to stare. I think this is the result of some company policy we have set up. At least that's the excuse I'm giving myself, and I'm dropping the problem until I get more complaints. Thanks for the help. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karthik Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 9:13 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Flash player troubles How were the flash players installed orginally? What version of the player was it? Perhaps running the uninstaller [1] might help? [rather than installing over the disabled player]. IIRC IE also has a plug-in manager now. Perhaps you can check in there too.. hth -K [1]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ On 14/12/05, Mendelsohn, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have given up trying to figure why this happens on some computers and > not others.

The problem is still repeatable on other computers, though. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
